Review Text
'Con Alma' is classic jazz piano trio material played to perfectiion by three veteran jazz artists in their first 2005 outing for Xenophon Records. Pianist Robb Hunt instills nine standards with the depth and emotion only found in the best and rarest of this genre. Bassist Naim Satya brings the entire history of the jazz bass to the session combined with icomparably artful brush and stick artistry from the legendary Paul Distel. We at Xenophon particulary like the two takes of 'Angel Eyes' and the sublime version of the rarely played 'Never Will I Marry'. The Dizzy Gillespie title tune smokes along relentlessly with great double octaves from Hunt. Find more classic jazz at lumaproductions.net.
